As night falls, the grand finale of the 2023 CFA Cup One-Eighth Final kicks off at 19:35 Beijing time on July 26th. The suspense of the match is on the line, with a penalty shootout deciding the winner in the event of a draw after 90 minutes of action. CCTV will focus on the Swimming World Championships and the Women's World Cup, but the CCTV sports client CCTV5APP will broadcast the battle live. At the same time, Migu video, QIU emperor, live bar, thunder speed sports, soccer channel and many other platforms will also be synchronized through the network and cell phone to present the event exciting.
In the first round of five matches, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers knocked out Shanghai Harbour, former Football Association leader Chen Xuyuan's old team, 5-3 on penalties, while Shanghai Shenhua thrashed last year's third-place finisher Zhejiang 5-1 at home. Dalian People beat relegation specialists Henan on penalties, while Qingdao Hainiu won 1-0 at home against Changchun Yatai while knocking new Sichuan soccer team Chengdu Rongcheng back.
Beijing Guoan are away to Qingdao West Coast in the Chinese League One and will be broadcast live on Beijing Radio and Television's Sports and Leisure Channel. Guoan has been playing poorly in the league, but its form has picked up recently and it is currently sixth in the table with 28 points. Qingdao West Coast, on the other hand, is expected to hit the Chinese Super League, and the coach is the brother of Dalian Shide Meritorious.
Shandong Taishan will challenge Meizhou Hakka away from home, with live coverage provided by Shandong Radio and TV Sports Channel. Taishan, coached by Cui Kangxi, got rid of the trough at the beginning of the season and now jumped up to the fourth place, but there is still a gap of 14 points with the top of the table, and there is little hope of winning the title of the Chinese Super League. Meizhou Hakka are 13th with 16 points and fighting relegation, but Shandong Taishan have strong players such as Fellaini and Wang Dalei with victory in sight.
Wuhan Sanzhen will face Nantong Zhiyun on the road, and the match will not be televised. Three Town, despite having a luxury foreign aid team, is not doing well in the league and is in 7th place with 27 points, while Nantong Zhiyun is in 14th place with 14 points and is at risk of being relegated. This matchup could be the key to Sanzhen's relegation battle.
Who will come out on top in tonight's three FA Cup matches? Let's all look forward to the unveiling of this soccer feast!
